Abstract

BACKGROUND

The assessment of frailty among older people could help to reduce its social and health burden.

AIM

To determine and characterize the prevalence of frailty in Chilean older adults.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

We studied 233 participants, aged > 60 years, participating in the Chilean National Health Survey 2016-2017. Frailty was assessed using modified Fried criteria. Thus, people classified as frail should meet at least 3 out of the 5 criteria (low strength, low physical activity, low body mass index, slow walking pace and tiredness).

RESULTS

The prevalence of frailty was 10.9% (7.7% for men and 14.1% for women). The prevalence of pre-frailty was 59.0% whereas 30.1% of participants were classified as robust. At the age of 80 years 58 and 62% of men and women were frail, respectively. These figures increased to 90 and 87% at the age of 90 years. The prevalence of pre-frailty increased from 43 to 92.1% among men and from 76% and 78% among women from the ages of 60 to 90 years, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

The prevalence of frailty increased markedly with age. It is important to implement prevention strategies to allow an early identification of high-risk individuals.

摘要

背景

评估老年人的衰弱状况有助于减轻其社会和健康负担。

目的

确定并描述智利老年人衰弱的患病率。

材料与方法

我们研究了233名年龄大于60岁的参与者，他们参加了2016 - 2017年智利全国健康调查。使用改良的弗里德标准评估衰弱状况。因此，被归类为衰弱的人应满足五项标准中的至少三项（力量低、身体活动少、体重指数低、步行速度慢和疲劳）。

结果

衰弱的患病率为10.9%（男性为7.7%，女性为14.1%）。衰弱前期的患病率为59.0%，而30.1%的参与者被归类为健康。在80岁时，男性和女性的衰弱率分别为58%和62%。在90岁时，这些数字分别增至90%和87%。在60至90岁的男性中，衰弱前期的患病率从43%增至92.1%，女性则从76%增至78%。
